Punch Needle Floral Cushion Cover Embroidery Workshop

Make your Sunday extra special by joining this relaxing punch needle workshop, where you'll create a beautiful floral cushion cover. Together, we'll stitch delicate blooming flowers that create a wonderfully soft and textured finish. The finished design adds a cheerful pop of colour to a neutral interior or pairs beautifully with bolder home décor. To make the experience even more indulgent, you'll be treated to a freshly brewed coffee or tea, a freshly baked pastry, and a glass of bubbly. To make sure everyone receives plenty of individual guidance, this workshop is limited to just six participants. By the end of the session, you'll have completed the embroidered front of your cushion cover, with the remaining fabric cut to size so you can easily sew it together at home. I'll provide clear step-by-step finishing instructions, and if you need any extra help afterwards, you'll also have one-to-one support from me via WhatsApp Business. This class is a lovely way to meet like-minded people who share a love of making, whether you come solo or bring a friend along – you'll leave with new skills, fresh inspiration, and a few new creative friends too. Everything's included: yarn, fabric, punch needle tool, embroidery scissors, and a snap frame, along with practice materials so you can build confidence before starting your finished piece. What you'll get: A completed embroidered front of the cushion cover. Plus, you'll be given the backing fabric cut to size, needle and thread, alongside sewing instructions to turn your embroidery into a cushion.

ZINE MAKING with LESS STRESS PRESS: cultivate creativity

A special event to share the creative practice of zine making 💭✍️✂️🎨📖 IN A NUTSHELL, zine making creates opportunities to: * spend time exploring ideas * hone in on something you love or care about: a cause, a message, a skill, a place (the possibilities are endless) * get creative with collage, drawing, writing, printmaking (etc.) * produce compelling and unique booklets that you can print cheaply and share with friends and strangers offline After lots of creative brainstorming of their own, Bonny and Ellie have landed on zine making as the perfect way to both open up space for playful, low stakes creativity, and focus their minds on bite sized projects. You will soon be able to see some of their zines [here](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress). They’re excited to share with you! **IN THIS WORKSHOP, we will:** * Introduce the practice * Share some examples: brief history of zine making, LessStressPress examples * Get to know each other’s interests * Brainstorm using collage and scribbles: get into a low stakes, creative headspace * Use a template to plot our zines: 2 covers and 6 pages of content * Design our first zines (everything is possible with analogue materials, but if you love digital design, bring a laptop) * Sharing circle * **Optional finale:** * Visit the print shop visit together * Print copies of our new zines * LESS STRESS PRESS Pop Up: hand out copies of our new zines to strangers :-) **BY THE END OF THE DAY, we'll have** * learned a new practice to spark creativity and clarify thinking * met a new group of people and learned about the things they care enough to make a zine about * had some thought provoking conversations * produced our own original zines, ready to share :-) **NOTES ON THE GENERAL ATMOSPHERE:** Although we’ll be learning a new practice we'll also be aiming to have an enjoyable day, with good humour and fun. This will be less like school and more like a relaxed hang out in a café with an additional creative twist. **WHO SHOULD COME:** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the experience. This group is not about being experts, it is about thinking creatively together and learning new ways to develop and communicate ideas. **WHERE WE'LL MEET:** We'll be meeting in a beautiful little creative studio in Stoke Newington. The exact address will be provided to attendees directly. **[SUBSTACK](https://experimentsingroupwisdom.substack.com/)** \- newsletter and reflections **[WHATSAPP GROUP](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DcSICl49X509EFdGBo3hKg)** \- stay in the loop **[INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/lessstresspress)** \- see what we look like \(content coming soon 😅\) **[WEBSITE](http://www.alltogether.one/)** \- everything else **#creativity #inclusivity #openmindedness #creativepractices #community #newskills #zinemaking**
